Zonta Says NO

Written by Lynn McKenzie Zonta International President Zonta International Foundation President

A campaign to end violence against women and girls

The Zonta International Public Relations & Communications Committee is pleased to announce the launch of "Zonta Says NO" - a Zonta International campaign to raise awareness of and increase actions to end violence against women and girls around the world. The campaign, which begins this month and will continue through December 2013, will feature the service and advocacy actions of Zonta clubs and districts to prevent and end violence against women and girls in their local communities. It will also highlight Zonta International's ongoing efforts to end violence against women and girls through the Zonta International Strategies to End Violence against Women (ZISVAW) program and through Zonta's partnerships with the United Nations and its agencies.

Zonta Says NO has two phases. Building off this year's 16 Days of Activism and the theme of the 2013 CSW - elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls - the Zonta Says NO campaign invites all Zonta clubs and districts to participate by sharing their new and ongoing actions to end violence against women and girls between now and November 2013. These actions will be featured on a special Zonta Says NO campaign web page and official social media pages. The second phase will feature one common action by Zonta clubs and districts around the world in November 2013 to illustrate the collective commitment of Zonta's nearly 30,000 members to preventing and ending violence against women and girls.

Please join us! To learn more about Zonta Says NO, please refer to the Campaign Starter Kit and Campaign FAQs. If you still have questions about how you, your club or your district can participate, please email

2015 Spring Retreats

The Zonta Collect:Keep us from pettiness. Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed. Let us be done with fault finding and leave off self- seeking. May we put away all pretenses and meet each other face to face without self-pity and without prejudice. May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous. Let us take time for all things: make us grow calm, serene and gentle. Teach us to put into action our best impulses, straight forward and unafraid. Grant that we may realize that it is the little things that create differences, that in the big things of life we are as one. And may we strive to touch and to know the great woman’s heart of us all, and let us not forget to be kind.
